Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is an image to text converter?
An image to text converter is a tool that extracts text from photos, screenshots, scanned documents, and other images so you can copy, edit, translate, or save the text

How long does text extraction take?
Most images are processed in just a few seconds
How accurate is the text recognition?
Accuracy depends far more on the image than on the text itself. Printed text in a sharp, evenly lit photo comes back essentially as written, including tables and multi-column layouts. Photos taken at an angle, screenshots, and pages with mixed formatting are handled reliably too, because the bot reads the layout of the page rather than one character at a time
What kind of images does it struggle with?
Glare across the text, heavy shadow, motion blur, very low resolution, and handwriting that is genuinely hard for a person to read. The rule of thumb: if you can read the text yourself when you zoom into the photo, the bot will usually get it. If you cannot, retake the shot with more even light and the page filling more of the frame
Can I send multiple images at once?
Yes. You can upload multiple images in a single message, and the bot will extract text from all of them
Can I use the extracted text with ChatGPT?
Absolutely. Copy the extracted text and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other AI assistant
Which languages are supported?
The bot recognizes text in 100+ languages. That includes Latin-script languages such as English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, and Turkish; Cyrillic ones such as Russian and Ukrainian; and non-Latin scripts including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Greek, and Thai. You can also send an image containing several languages at once and the bot will extract all of them
Does it work with Instagram carousels?
Yes. Simply send an Instagram carousel link, and the bot will extract text from every image in the post
